According to a Herald Dispatch interview , homeowner David Wellman did not know the woman. He was awakened by a ringing door bell and a warning from his daughter sleeping in the front room to not "open that door."

Neighbors told the HD that a black man chased the screaming woman down the street then repeatedly kicked her in the head.
